Fucking wild that you won't see them go after white supremacists for their anti-semitism. It's almost like that terrorism identifying color swatch is a real thing.
Activities aligned to mossad include the production of fake Australian passports to carry out assassinations. When revealed Israel didn't say sorry to Australia, they said oopsy daisy.
Even IF he were speaking in support of Hamas (he wasn’t lol) this is an indisputable violation of the concept of free speech.
I don’t understand how conservatives don’t realize this
This is not just conservatives. Biden and a bunch of other dems called the protesters supporters of Hamas. Do not get it twisted this isn’t a conservative only deal it’s an American tradition as old as this ass backwards genocidal country is
Biden and “a bunch of other Dems” are also conservatives. I mean, I get the point you were trying to make but you’d be hard pressed to find a worse example to try and make it around
That would only be true if this wasn’t America and most americans understood that we have 2 right wing parties but that is not the case and I would think you would know better but I guess I got my hopes up for nothing
For starters, you said “that would only be true if…” suggesting that you believe the statement “Biden and other dems are conservatives” is incorrect, but you then go on to acknowledge that both major parties are right wing (and thus lean conservative)
It just sounds like you (for some bizarre ass reason) decided to take offense over another person pointing out a detail you yourself acknowledge as fact in your response while trying to act as if said detail is incorrect.
He worked with UNRWA, and they've been claiming for a while that UNRWA has been infiltrated by Hamas. Of course it's bullshit, but I assume that that's where they're going with this.
Yes, this is the sort of guilt-by-association argument they make. A Telegram group with 3000 members had UNRWA teachers on it praising the October 7 attacks (true). Therefore, there are 3000 UNRWA teachers who praised Hamas. Conclusion: Hamas controls UNRWA (false).
Now *that's* an unreliable source! You may as well cite an al-Qassam brigader.
Anyway, you've made my point; these are the sorts of accusations being made by people who politically align with the Trump administration, which is why I suspect that they'll make them in Khalil's case.
Who's next? People who promote abortion and/or trans rights? People who condemn Elon Musk? Jews who criticize Israel? People who promote equal voting rights for Black people and women? People like us here calling them out--political dissidents?
It means Khalil and Hamas both agree with something. Since both Khalil and Hamas believe 2+2=4, Khalil is aligning with Hamas and therefore he must be deported.
Means "protesting against Israel", there's no more freedom of speech in America, anything that's against Israel is against the regimes mandate and will result in getting deported.
Opposing and protesting a war or genocide is not.
This admin just looks for a reason to deport someone even if they have done nothing illegal. The effect of this approach endangers all U.S. citizens. "When they came for....."
Wow so you when nazis March they’re called “very nice people” but if you vocally protest genocide you’re “in alignment” with a terrorist organization. So free speech only matters in support of white nationalism/imperialism but not when you criticize white nationalism/imperialism. Fucking monsters 🖕🏻🖕🏻
I hope there are citizens willing to stand up to this shit! Goddamnit! We can adjudicate every one of these instances under the sun until we’re bout in the face, but the end of it will be when the people stand up! This is not okay and it has to be abundantly clear.
Perhaps the worst part of this is aligning this with efforts to combat antisemitism. How many times do we have to say that criticism of Israel is not per se antisemitism?
"Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. It's a confusing, deliberately ambiguous language used in the totalitarian state of Oceania. The purpose of Newspeak is to limit people's ability to think and express complex ideas. "
So Soviet and Stalinist in particular: concoct a cynical one-word "crime" and use it to arrest people. The next step, if they follow this playbook, would be prison and executions. Boris Epshteyn's family came from the former SU. I'm sure he is well versed in the art of ruling by lies and fear.
When we talk about eroding the rule of law it doesn’t register with some people because they think it can’t really happen in America.
But it happens when enough people in government are willing to interpret and apply laws so outrageously that they don’t mean anything anymore. It’s happening now.
Hey, I know I don’t look it but I have a background in this shit.
They are inventing new terms so that they can mean whatever they want. This means they have freedom to act however they wish until the courts can get to the heart of that very question.
And so it begins. Welcome to Hell, Donnie! When everyday Americans get a whiff of the unethical, immoral, and unconstitutional detainment of US citizens, you better believe We the People won’t stand for it. #ZeroIslamaphobiaZeroAntisemitism #DontHateArabsHateRacists #NotInTheUS #1stAmmendment
A call to all: say it plainly, say it clearly, say it simply, and say it often. We have become so used to sarcasm that it in and of itself has become Newspeak. Donald is bad. He’s doing things that are not just and don’t follow the rules. We should be allowed to speak and that’s American. #Realspeak
The government could accuse anyone pointing out that the Israeli government is currently engaged in genocide as engaging in “activities aligned with Hamas.”
Called it. It’s why he always equated Antifa, Student protestors, undocumented aliens, drug cartels etc as “terrorists”. And said we were “at war”. It’s all about emergency powers and expanding the use of statutes language as pretext. Like the section on revoking green cards below. Tracks perfectly.
That's also why they've consistently labeled anyone who even remotely expresses sympathy to Palestine as "Pro-Hamas." So now you can just arrest anyone protesting Israel and just charge them under anti-terrorism statutes (18 U.S.C. § 2339A).
The "Hamas" moniker also works to silence dissent against those who may speak out against a potential mass arrest of pro-Palestinian protesters, thanks to "Hamas = ISIS" slogans being broadcast continuously over the past several months.
Think of all the things that could have been said but haven't, *because he wasn't doing them*: activities "directed by Hamas", "funded by Hamas", "working for Hamas", "recruiting for Hamas", "collecting money to fund Hamas's activities", etc etc
Pointing out that innocent people don't deserve to get bombed, put in concentration camps or raped are not "Activities aligned to Hamas" who the fuck wrote this because they sound more like a goddamn terrorist than the people they're slandering
my guess is a bill will soon be submitted that “defines” what Hamas is, and it will criminalize all critique of Israel under the guise of “anti-terrorism for national security” patriot act 2.0
considering how they were planning to go after people for contributing to bail funds for Cop City protestors, this could be stretched to include people who contributed to Palestinian GoFundMes
That's the point. You don't know, you are reliant on their interpretation. This has nothing to do with Israel & everything to do with asserting power here.

The crime of lying is into a war?
I don’t understand how conservatives don’t realize this
It’s pathetic on their part

For years rockets and weapons were found stored in UNRWA facilities.
This is the beginning of Gestapo terror.

But being publicly against the genocide of your own people while in college gets you sent to a black site
KochKluxKlan and Hitler Simps are fascists destroying American with Racism and hate and should be stopped.
Hamas and Palestinian protestors are religious jihadis, that hate everything about America and should be stopped.
#FAFO
The unmarked black vans that snatched BLM protestors right off the streets of Manhattan in brand daylight?
& border patrol buzzing water protectors with helicopters?
& Starbucks CEO & J Seinfeld's wife "discouraging" campus protests?
🔎 GILEE program started in '92
And not something that would even turn someone antisemitic either.
Jews aren't special at all
Of course Israel isn’t giving free electricity to the ppl who want to murder all Jews for purely religious purposes
If so, they could potentially forego due process & imprison them indefinitely.
The Trump Administration is pushing hard for public riots 🤣

At least, that is what it looks like to me.
Am I missing something??
Dark days indeed if that is what is happening.

Democrats are also guilty. Didn't Ritchie Torres call someone a Hamas lover when he was questioned on his support for Israel?
That includes a good chunk of the resistlibs on this site. On the bright side - it makes them easy to block
But lol you’re all so full of Hammas propaganda that you’re equating a terrorist organization with billions in funding to
The undocumented in the US, that have no leadership and can’t afford rent
Going great
Seriously though, this is egregious action by Trump’s goons.
Unless you’re referring to the Jan. 6th indictment
Is like not a secret

What's the point of electing lawyers to these positions if they want to maliously comply in order to push fascist agenda?
IMO Whoever wrote/approved/published this language needs to be audited.
